Lee Fair Share (LFS)
Mental wellbeing
We plan to hold weekly Coffee and Chat sessions and Chair Exercise classes organised and run by a Co-ordinator and a trained Exercise Tutor for the older members of our community.
About this cause
We support the older people of our local community and those who are more isolated and vulnerable. LFS know that the issues of loneliness and isolation have increased with our members and others during the pandemic. To help alleviate these LFS has supported them with regular phone calls, newsletters, doorstep calls and walking when permitted. LFS needs funding to be able to continue it's work.
How this cause brings people in the community together
National surveys show that loneliness and isolation have become immense issues which our project will help tackle by making contact with those who are lonely and enabling them to come together regularly in a safe place either indoors or at the local park for our weekly sessions. Our exercise classes will impact not only the physical wellbeing of our members but also their mental wellbeing.
